Mass Graves Of Plague Victims At Blackheath

Memorials	:	0
Location	:	Blackheath, Royal Borough of Greenwich, England
Description	:	There is a dispute over whether the very name "Blackheath" references the Black Death and plague victims. An urban myth is Blackheath could derive from the 1665 Plague or the Black Death of the mid-14th century. A local burial pit is nonetheless likely during the Black Death, given the established village and safe harbour (hithe) status of Greenwich. At those times the extent of mortality meant that churchyard burial widely became unwieldy.	There is a dispute over whether the very name "Blackheath" references the Black Death and plague victims.
